Disc Golf Tournament

Pro and Am divisions
$5 Entry Fee

6:30pm�Registration
6:50pm�Brief Players Meeting
7:00pm�Shotgun Start

Bring a small or medium sized Jack-o-Lantern and receive a free glow stick! Last year, we had several carved Jack-o-Lanterns which we placed atop the baskets during the round. Who will have the coolest design this year? We'll be taking photos of the pumpkins, so let's see some creative carving!

Glow golf discs can be used for this event, however, the miniature glow sticks or LED fishing lights work even better. These lights can be found in the fishing departments at Dick's Sporting Goods, Dunhams Sports, Cabelas as well as some Wal Marts. Easily attached to the top of the disc with packing tape, these little lights make it easier to find your disc at night than during the day!

More details to follow on this ghostly contest, however, mark your calendars now! :eek:

Last year you didn't even play; you just brought your pumpkin and left. Not to mention the pumpkin sucked. ha ha

Me and Lori will be there. We will have about 4 pumpkins to bring.

I will also be there with a pumpkin or two. Im ready to rock my first glow round ever!

Anyone wearing a costume?

There is only 1 rule for this event...........NO FLASHLIGHTS ALLOWED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It screws up your night vision.

Anyone caught using a flashlight will be beat over the head with it and then have a pumpkin forced onto there head.

What exactly were you doing with my pumpkin to find out it sucked? :o /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Don't forget to shop around for some glow lights! Halloween night's forecast is looking pretty sweet so far....

okay....who's carved their jack-O-lanterns for Wednesday night at Knob Hill? :D

I'm going to carve tonight... hopefully they turn out as sweet as I think they will.

also, I think we may have a good turnout because I had to go to [censored] Sporting Goods in the Pittsburgh Mills after two Walmarts and a KMart being completely sold out of both leds and mini glow sticks.

thats too funny.

Last night, I purchased a few of the battery lights from Cabela's ($3 ~ yellow) and Dick's Sporting Goods ($4 ~ red), so I'll have about a dozen or so I'll be able to sell if anybody is looking for them. There are other colors available, however, I think red is the brightest, followed by yellow (red hurts your night vision the least).

These battery operated LED lights are made to fit into a bobber or on the end of a fishing rod. You can turn the light on or off and they last for about 20 hours total. Check your local fishing department for this product.

Of course, Craig is giving a limited number of glow sticks for jack-o-lanterns brought to the tournament (first come, first serve). These tiny glow sticks are the type where you snap 'em and they glow for about 8 hours. These work well, however, they're still not as bright as the LED battery lights.

Forecast is looking good for Halloween, folks! Have you carved your pumpkins, yet? :D

It's an unfortunate artifact of the software censor. It's unfortunate that message board users chose to continue to use the name of that Sporting Goods chain as a personal attack and so we had to add it to the list.

That's hilarious!!!

I'm coming, but I think I might not be able to play. Broke my hand last night... ouch.

DANG REX!!! how the heck did you break your hand dood?!? And show up anyway, it'll be fun nonetheless.

Spooks, Goblins and Ghouls, OH MY!!!!

I'm coming, but I think I might not be able to play. Broke my hand last night... ouch.



You have two hands, right? :D

my pumpkin carvings came out sick last night!

... I have my putter charging under the flourescents as we speak...

this is gonna be awesome!

I wish I could make it but by the time Alanna and I get off work there's no way we could make it to Knob by then. Plus she has to watch "America's Next Top Model" - thank god I have two TVs. :mad:

Marie likes to watch that show, too...

I only have one thing to say to time constraints Kurt...

::cough cough:: ::hack hack:: ;)



Plus she has to watch "America's Next Top Model" - thank god I have two TVs. :mad:



Alanna is NEVER going to hear the end of this, btw.

I can probably putt and make some ups... but my hand is so swollen that I don't think i can drive to well. Maybe lefty drives might make it fun... see if I can score under an 80 left handed.

Dang rex i told u to lock that bathroom door when your playing with that dinga-ling!

Any pumpkins get smashed last night?

They were smashing pumpkins on my card......and my pumpkins at that! I captured some good photos last night which I'll post a bit later. I'm headed out to the park right now....lost a new Orc on hole 14 when it hit a tree and the light fell off. :(

By the way, thirty-two people showed up for the tournament! :eek:

AWESOME EVENT!!!!!!!!!!!! 32 people!!! I think we had less than 10 the last 2 years.

Great time last night. Me and Lori had a blast. She really liked having another girl in the group. Thanks for coming out MARIE!!!! And thanks for the cupcakes, so good.

Scores that I know of ---

I shot a 60 to win
Jerry - 61
Carl "the ghost" Vesch - 61
Sid - 62

that' all I can remember.

beautiful weather and some AMAZING pumpkins.

Those cupcakes were the bomb. And Marie seems like she's got seriously awesome sense of humor. Even better than Jerrys... you should bring her out more often Gotcher.

That card behind us kept almost nailing us with their drives despite yelling at them... lol

That was fun.

beautiful weather and some AMAZING pumpkins.

this was my first glow round ever and it was absolutely the most fun I've had playing disc golf in a long while. I shot a 69 and loved every minute of it!

I have my LEDS and clear duct tape, clear champ plastic, a sick pumpkin design... but no info!!!

is anyone running this event for the '08?!?

Lets get this together. It's a great tradition and LOADS of fun. if you werent there last year you missed out!

This is our clubs only true chance at glow golf every year!

Someone, anyone?.... the time is approaching QUICKLY. LETS DO THIS!

Craig has run the "Huckin' Halloween" for the past three years, but I believe he may not be able to run it this year. I'm sure the tournament will happen, we just need a hand raiser or two to help make it happen. October 31 is on Friday night this year.... :p

More details to follow......plan to be there as this is one of the most fun disc golf tournaments you'll ever play! :cool:

Hey, so I have a couple questions about sticking lights on the discs:

I generally don't throw Champion (can't get a decent grip or something)... will my Star/ESP discs be usable with the lights on the underside? If I use these opaque discs, will I have to stick the light on top? If you stick a light on top, does it change the flight?

In the meantime, maybe I'll take out my small collection of Champion discs and see if I have better luck. :P

Hi Teresa,

You can attach a light to the top any disc using clear packing tape and you will notice little, if any, change in the flight characteristic of the disc. There's two reasons you want to tape the light onto the top of the disc: 1) visibility and 2) less chance of it coming off as the disc lands and slides across the ground.

We will have clear packing tape on hand for players to use, however, players will need to provide their own lights. I stopped by Dick's Sporting Goods in Cranberry last night and they were out of the LED lights. I'll try some other fishing departments at other stores.....maybe Cabella's in Wheeling as they always have a large selection.

Teresa,

if you use champion plastic, like I did last year, you can use clear DUCT TAPE and adhere the light to the bottom with no problems. I carried 3 discs with lights (Teebird, Sidewinder, Buzz) and all three never lost a light and were so easy to see the entire time. Its surprising, but discs with the LEDs are easier to find than a disc thats thrown during daylight. Kinda cool.

anywho, Jerry's way and the way I described both seem to work well. Knowing what we know, regardless of method, I would use the clear duct tape. I'll have a whole roll with me that night.

only true advice I have is DO NOT MISS THIS... best, most fun, coolest round of disc golf you will play all year hands down!

I was hearin' some trash talkin' last night 'bout who's gonna have the best jack-O-lantern! :)

it'll be Stella. I rocked it last year and this year will be NO different. believe dat!

I am itchin' to start carving the pumpkins which are presently sitting on my porch, but I'm waiting 'til Thursday or Friday..... :)

Stella stepped up and purchased a pumpkin carving kit this year....last year he carved some pretty nice Jack-O's with a steak knife, but he knows this year's competition is tougher........ Friday is going to be a throw-down at Knob Hill! Bring it on! :D

I'm itchin' as well. This will be my first time participating during the Huckin' Halloween and the first time playing at night.

Hey Jerry, Stella told me what he was doing with his pumpkin...You better pick up your game if you want to compete with him.

FYI

I was in Wheeling, WV today and I purchased over a dozen LED lights from Cabela's. I also picked up another six lights from Gander Mountain in Washington, PA. I will have these lights available for sale for $5 each......first come, first-serve on Friday night at Knob Hill! These lights are reusable for about 20+ hours......red and yellow are the colors I'll have on hand. Don't worry about packing tape to adhere the lights to your discs.....we gotcha covered on that! :)

Jerry

For those who chose not to play our annual Huckin' Halloween glow tournament, you missed one of the most fun events of the year! 49 players came out to enjoy a round of glow golf with friends. The weather was absolutely perfect.....temps in the low 50's, no wind in the air and no dew on the ground. There were lots of great jack-0-lanterns this year, but the winner receiving the most votes for best carved pumpkin went to Ross Schweitzer and his three wolves (Hole 9).

Special thanks to Craig McCloud for yet another ghostly good time at Knob Hill.... :)
